“In today’s fast-moving world, where there aren’t necessarily right answers and the expectations are so high, I help clients connect with their personal values as they set strategy, empathize, take risks, develop trusting relationships and focus on what really matters. I work with clients in a holistic way, helping them access their head, heart and guts to become truly authentic leaders. Drawing alongside clients and creating space for deeper thinking, I help them realise their fullest potential by being true to themselves, revealing and challenging unhelpful patterns and behaviours to amplify their strengths. ”

Having worked within complex and dynamic environments, Jason understands the demands and pressures facing leaders, teams and organisations today and the difficulties in challenging the status quo.

Waverley Learning are very vested in what they’re doing, very committed. They’re dynamic individually and collectively, they are 100% invested to the learners when they go into a program, it really is a sense of ownership of the experience that I don’t necessarily always see with every other vendor or learning partner that we use.

Lisa Smisek - Director of Learning, Kearney

There’s a credibility and a humility that you just sense when you’re engaging with Waverley Learning. I’m personally very drawn to that.

Karen Brown - Director of People and Talent, Tearfund

It is the extent to which Waverley Learning understood all the requirements, the innovation that they brought, the talent they brought. Their whole style takes the frantic pace at which we work out of the equation, the messages comes through really clearly. They’ve tuned into the challenges of our organization and made observations that have given us added value. It’s always based on our needs.

Alison Maher - Head of Learning, GWR

Their Developing Skills course consistently gets the best feedback of any standard developmental course that we offer. They’re clearly doing something right in terms of engagement, for those individuals to realise their own development within that situation. Waverley Learning listen to what’s going on, the chats that they’re having with my colleagues. They’re able to play that back, this is what’s going on in your business. As an organization, they provide great insight into to us.
